It is our own score for how good a card is. Rather than trust the number the game prints on the front, it reads the card's actual ratings — power, contact, fielding and the rest — and weighs them the way the game appears to. It runs past 100 because those underlying ratings do.
Where this card's 100.4 comes from · How the whole thing was built
Chase Burns does effectively the same job at starting pitcher — we rate them 98.7 against this card's 100.4 — and costs 6,050 instead of 21,000. That is 14,950 stubs you could spend somewhere else.
What he actually does
This card has a very good velocity at 99, and very good break on the ball at 99. Hitters strike out against him at 86 and he avoids walks at 85 — about average for command. Stamina of 95 means he can start and go deep.
